I'm interested in hearing from people who have direct knowledge regarding the care and feeding of the P337. I have always admired the design and I think it has a lot to offer for the money on the current used market. I have read everything I can get my hands on, and I have talked to many of...

We´re looking for a second-hand pressurised twin-engine aircraft, to seat sixteen to nineteen passangers plus crew, such as a Raytheon Beechcraft 1900 -C or -D version or Jetstream 32, which has easy acess to spares and maintainance within the Florida state, as well as flight simmulators within the...

I've got a problem with my Prestolite starter which I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out with. The pinion gear that engages the starter ring gets stuck in the retracted position and won't come forward when I engage the ignition key. It just whirs in place inside the casing. I...

Just went in to the avionics shop today to check on the installation work they are doing (SL-40 COM, PS-4000 intercom/panel, & G396 wired to both). Turns out that Garmin just cut the price $300 on the 396 so its now at $2195. Anyway, if anyone has been out there waiting, looks like Garmin...

What do you think a reasonable price for the following would be. PA28-180B (1963) 3700 tt 1880 smoh (runs fine with compression in mid or high 70's I believe) 800 stoh mk-12D ADF Average Interior (maybe 5 or 6) serviceable but nothing great Paint flaking off in many places. Will need to be...

Currently the price gap between 100LL and 87 unleaded, on a national average basis, is approximately $1.50, give and take. That's quite a bit higher than say 1997, I remember the gap was definitely below $1. The total consumption of 100LL will continue to drop in the years to come, caused by high...

I would imagine higher fuel/insurance/operating costs will drive the trends already in motion. Namely, more shared ownership, less private (1 person) ownership, and either a shift towards owners in a higher income bracket, or fewer owners overall as the ones struggling with the expense drop...

Hi there! I wish to purchase atleast 2 or 3 Beech 1900C (or 1900D) aircrafts. What is the current reasonable price for one? I expect to use it atleast for another 10-15 years. Does anyone wish to sell theirs? Please send me an email. Please let me know if you have financing options available. We...

I am trying to locate a tug manufactured by Priceless Tugs. I have seen their web site, but would like to view one of these units first hand. I am looking for someone that has one of these tugs in Texas.

I'm trying to decide what is a fair price for this aircraft. I looked at the asking price of 74 Archers in Trade-a-Plane and saw prices ranging from the high 40's to the high 50's. I used the TAP estimator and came up with about 52K. This plane is in good condition in and out, has older...

I'd like to acquire the available wisdom on pricing flight time (though I'll forgo standing on a single leg for now {8^). This is for a club, but I'm sure it's the same problem for a partnership or even a single owner. The only difference is that a club has multiple aircraft, but we price...

A person told me it is better to push the primer slowly rather then quick shots. Slower is better on pulling out the primer as this allows the primer cylinder to draw in all the fuel it can take. Pushing the charge in quickly is probably best as the velocity may help in atomizing the...

I am anticipating getting my private certificate in the not-too-distant future. I know this may sound like a real dorky thing to some people, which is why I am reluctant to ask my instructor, but I was thinking about getting a uniform. I do not want to do anything against any "protocol", nor...

I haven't successfully accessed their server for several days. Anyone else?

I'm using Mozilla/Firefox instead of M$ Internet Explorer. I've also switched over to (free) Thunderbird, from using M$ Outlook Express 6.0. (So far I'm OK-happy with this combination) I've been reading these newsgroups with Outlook Express since 1998. I'm familiar with it and I like it. Comfort...

Does anyone have any insight as to my problem. I just some work done on my Arrow which included removing the engine mount for repairs. On my second flight the transponder went out and would not reset. After appox. 2 minutes it came back on and has been working flawlessly for the past 4 hours of...

Is anyone who uses Google to post here having problems? Many threads I select come up emty with the message "unable to locate thread". Has been happening alot the last several days. It is happening on several computers I have tried both at home and at work and at friends.

Just a warning for those who might consider purchasing Rapco dry vacuum pumps. Make sure that your engine does not leak oil. If there is any chance of an oil drip onto the Rapco vacuum pump it may eventually stop working. The connecting shaft is vented to air. But if some oil drops on the shaft it...

Flyers, If anyone is interested in Barry Schiff's Proficient Flying DVD (3 DVD Set) I am selling mine on EBay. http://tinyurl.com/9ez2e As most of you may know I have been selling my DVD's and I'm now quite familiar with what's out there in this market. I have to say that *this* set was one of...

The guy that owns the private strip that I fly out of got a 172 project. What a project, this guy has better luck than me though. The airframe has less than 1000 hours TT and the plane has been sitting, outside for 18 years! The body looks very good, much of the paint is actually missing but the...
